HER STORY

Ruth is a federal contractor with over 18 years of IT experience and business owner/creator of Naturally Taylor’d™ Skin specializing in handmade natural lotions and products for men and women.  Ruth is also a graduate from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University and Journalism major from Daytona Beach who relocated to Atlanta from Maryland after 18 years of residence.  Her story in this book talks about personal obstacles and challenges she faced while trying to make strides towards higher education, wealth and excellence, which she knew she was destined for.  Her faith was tested repeatedly but with a praying mother and the will to succeed, ordinary struggles became the norm.  Understanding life's difficulties, Ruth felt it was necessary to collaborate with like-minded colleagues to share these experiences to inspire others to believe there is hope. This opportunity was presented to Ruth and she embraced it as God's calling to inspire others to believe in His will to change circumstances.
